Thanks to all of you who answered.  That was very useful!
I am going to erase my 912-1093 partition, let Windows
hibernate, and observe what it does.  Will "fdisk" be able
to see the hibernation partition?  If not, what should I
use (my disk has Windows 98, RedHat 5.2 and RedHat 6.3).

Thanks again,

Iliano.

Hibernation partition on a large disk

Subject: Hibernation partition on a large disk

Hi,

I have updated the disk of my Libretto 110CT to Toshiba's new 20Gb HD.
I left 78Mb empty for hibernation at the end of the disk (although it
looks like the BIOS already takes hibernation into account when running
fdisk).

When hibernation kicks in (from Windows), it messes up one of my
Linux partitions, the one on (Linux's fdisk) units 912 to 1093.  I suspect
that hibernation writes the contents of the RAM around unit 1024 rather
than at the end of the disk.

Has anybody encountered this problem?  If I am right, what part
of my HD should I exclude (= keep as an empty partition for the benefit
of the hibernation software)?  Are there other solutions (besides disabling
hibernation from within Windows)?


Many thanks in advance,

Iliano.
